Is Second Hand Smoke Bad?

What’s So Bad About Second-hand Tobacco Smoke?

Cigarette smokeMost people know that second-hand smoke is bad, but why is it bad?  And besides avoiding smoking altogether, what can be done about it? Before looking at the harmful effects, it’s good to consider one solution. Electronic cigarettes are increasing in popularity because they offer an alternative to tobacco smokers. They produce no smoke at all, only water vapor. Electronic cigarette safety has been shown to be much higher than tobacco cigarettes primarily because they produce no toxic smoke. That means the user and everyone around him can avoid the known carcinogens responsible for 3,400 lung cancer deaths and 46,000 heart disease deaths in adult non-smokers in the United States. Those shocking statistics do not include children at all. So, the effects of second-hand smoke are causing great harm to more than 50,000 people annually in the United States alone. Switching to an electronic cigarette can improve the quality of life for a smoker and everyone around him because absolutely no second-hand smoke is created in the process of vaporizing electronic cigarette liquid, inhaling it or expelling it. Avoiding second-hand tobacco smoke is easier with the use of electronic cigarettes.

 

Just One Cigarette!

The Temptation of Just One Cigarette

One more cigaretteSome people wonder what happens when a cigarette smoker makes the decision to take up vaping, the use of e cigarettes instead of tobacco cigarettes. It’s a good question that can bring many different responses from any group of e cigarette users. Vaping is seen as a great alternative to smoking, and it provides some unique advantages that define the experience and make it truly enjoyable. One of those experiences is the ability to control nicotine consumption by alternating cartridges filled with higher or lower percentages of liquid nicotine. An e cigarette user can gradually reduce the quantity of nicotine she is inhaling if her goal is to eliminate the use of electronic cigarettes eventually as well. Meaning, she used them as a means to stop smoking tobacco, to gradually reduce her body’s craving for nicotine and to move in the direction of quitting e cigarette use altogether as well.

This is not a picture of your typical e cigarette user, however…

Reducing nicotine to zero and continuing vaping is certainly a possibility, but it’s not reality for most dedicated vapers. They love their e cigarettes and have no intention of quitting. Their goal was to quit smoking cigarettes and for the most part they are successful in doing so. Many vapers report problems when they decide to smoke a tobacco cigarette again. This often happens when they are socializing with smokers and casually ask to borrow “just one cigarette…” Despite their sincere fondness for vaping and all its many advantages over tobacco smoking, the social factor is a strong pull into an old habit. Long-time users caution new vapers to keep their e cigarette refills handy to avoid a tobacco crisis. They acknowledge that it only takes one cigarette to slip back into the habit of smoking. Oh, and keep those batteries charged as well. That’s one aspect of vaping a user always has to keep in mind, and has to plan ahead before going out where it’s not convenient to plug in an electronic cigarette charger. Armed with a great little e cigarette model, a spare cartridge and a fully-charged battery, no vaper has to abandon her smokeless cigarette for the hazards of tobacco when she’s out on the town.

 

It Is True; I Am An Idiot, nuts or just plain crazy still smoking regular cigarettes knowing everything I know!

cigarettes You may think I am being harsh with myself but after reading this article, I am sure you will agree with me. To put it in simple and blunt words, I am an IDIOT. I smoke 2 to 3 packs of cigarettes a day and have done so for over 46 years. I know all the risks I am taking and I still smoke. I have graduate degrees from respected universities and I still smoke. I have had several friends and relatives die of cancer and I still smoke.

I am well aware of the dangers of smoking cigarettes

.

According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, tobacco and smoking cigarettes is the leading preventable cause of death in the United States, resulting in more than 443,000 deaths each year. Smoking cigarettes causes lung cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, emphysema and a variety of other illnesses. Cigarettes contain thousands of toxins and 69 known carcinogens. Smoking cigarettes is so insidious that even non-smokers are at risk from second hand smoke. In the United States, over 3000 non-smokers a year die from lung cancer from second hand smoke. Cigarettes are a time bomb waiting to go off and KILL someone.

So why do I continue to smoke cigarettes?

I continue to smoke cigarettes because nicotine, which is found in cigarettes, is more addictive than heroin according to the experts. I am not only an idiot but I am also an addicted slave to tobacco. Every time I have tried to quit, I have undergone a miserable number of days or weeks where I not only felt awful but I was basically unable to function. I have tried everything from cold turkey to pills to nicotine patches and then some. Everything I have tried has ended in failure because my every thought was dominated by a desire to smoke just one more cigarette.

Is it so hopeless that I might as well just give up, keep smoking and pray that I’m one of the lucky few smokers who lives to a ripe old age despite my tobacco addiction? Until recently, the answer might have been yes but now there is hope on the horizon in the form of a wonderful new device called the electronic or smokeless cigarette.

What makes the smokeless cigarette so different that I might actually think I have a chance to quit? Well it is the first product that can be used to help you quit smoking that not only provides you with a source of nicotine to replace the nicotine you get from cigarettes but it also provides a substitute for inhaling without actually burning anything. The carcinogens in cigarettes are created when you ignite and burn the tobacco. With the electronic cigarette, you inhale a harmless vapor with each drag. There is absolutely no tobacco in the smokeless cigarette and no flame or combustion is involved.

The electronic cigarette is a rechargeable, two part device made of high quality steel that looks just like a tobacco cigarette. The main section corresponds to the part of a cigarette that contains the tobacco. The main section contains a lithium ion battery and a micro chip. The second section of the electronic cigarette, which corresponds to the filter of a tobacco cigarette, is a replaceable cartridge containing the nicotine solution. Every time the user takes a drag on an electronic cigarette, the lithium ion battery in the main section gently heats the nicotine solution and the user gets a small, measured dose of nicotine in an inhale-able vapor. You duplicate the entire process of smoking a tobacco cigarette and satisfy not only your addiction to nicotine but the psychological habits of holding a cigarette and inhaling.

I am in the process of switching to an electronic cigarette. I bought my first one and a month’s supply of nicotine cartridges today and as soon as I finish my last 2 packs of cigarettes, I intend to switch over to the electronic cigarette. Instead of making a big deal of quitting and throwing away the remaining cigarettes, I am going to just pick up the electronic cigarette the first time I want a smoke after I run out of tobacco cigarettes and use it like nothing has changed. I will get my nicotine and even be able to inhale a harmless vapor to replace the smoke of my trusty cigarettes. Hopefully, in time I will be able to give up tobacco for good and ever, thus freeing myself from slavery and ending my long period of idiocy. I must say I finally have some hope thanks to the electronic cigarette.

Cigarettes, How I Know I Can Quit… Electronic Cigarette?

cigarettesToday I’m going to tell you a story. It is a tale of danger and possible painful death. It is the tale of my 48 year flirtation with disease and doom. I am a smoker of cigarettes. That’s right. For over forty eight years now I have been risking my health and my life by smoking cigarettes.

I started smoking at 12, standing on the toilet in my bathroom and blowing the smoke into the vent just below the ceiling. This worked well for a while until the man living up stairs thought he had a fire and called the fire department. Boy, I tell you, my parents were mad at me when they found out I smoked cigarettes. However, this didn’t stop me from smoking cigarettes. I just went into the back stairs to smoke instead. It was easy to find places to hide and smoke cigarettes in a high rise apartment building.

Over the years, I continued to smoke cigarettes (years from anything like the electronic cigarette was coming to town!)

Now, with abandon until I reached my current 2 to 3 pack a day habit. Now I will admit that since I spend a great deal of my time on the computer, most of my cigarettes burn down in the ashtray so I am not really smoking as much as it seems. But, I am still paying $15 a day for cigarettes. If I lived in a place like New York City instead of Oklahoma, I’d be spending $40 a day for cigarettes or smokes. That would be an unbelievable $14,600 a year for the privilege of risking my health to lung cancer, heart disease and high blood pressure while exposing myself to 5000 toxic chemicals and 69 carcinogens.

Ok, so we know smoking is nuts. I have tried to quit cold turkey dozens of times and the longest I ever went without a cigarette was about 3 months. I just can’t seem to stop smoking. It was all looking pretty bleak until the other day when I was having dinner with a woman friend and she pulled out her electronic, smokeless cigarette. After she explained to me that it didn’t actually burn tobacco or anything else for that matter, I was intrigued and did some research on the electronic cigarette.

The concept is simple. Smokers are addicted to nicotine

That is why it is so hard to quit. The smokeless cigarette allows you to get small, measured doses of nicotine with each drag without any tobacco and without burning anything. No flame, no smell, no cancer causing chemicals. The electronic cigarette contains a small lithium ion battery that heats up the solution in the nicotine cartridge to create an inhalable water vapor that replaces the smoke from a tobacco cigarette. The user get a dose of nicotine to satisfy their cravings with every drag and can actually replace tobacco cigarettes with the electronic cigarette.

Even doctors are getting behind the smokeless cigarette as both a replacement for tobacco cigarettes and as a quit smoking device. Many experts feel it is a much safer way to get your nicotine and they also feel it is possibly the most effective way to quit smoking gradually. I myself have been using the electronic cigarette for 2 weeks now instead of smoking 3 packs a day of tobacco cigarettes and I am amazed how effective it has been. I am starting to be able to move around without being short of breath for the first time in years and I may actually have finally found a way to quit the tobacco habit. Only time will tell and I will be sure to keep you informed if I smoke any more cigarettes.
